  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote the two keyboard con- composed the concertos for performance by or with the certos contained in the present volume—the Concerto princess’s musical establishment, or she herself may have in G Major, Wq 34 and the Concerto in E-flat Major, commissioned them directly from Bach. There is, however, Wq 35—in 1755 and 1759, respectively. They are listed on no explicit evidence that confirms this supposition. Bach pages 32–33 in NV 1790: subsequently adapted both works for harpsichord for his No. 35. G. dur. B. 1755. Orgel oder Clavier, 2 Violinen, own use and also arranged the G-major concerto for flute 4 Bratsche und Baß; ist auch für die Flöte gesetzt. (Wq 169). Neither work was published in Bach’s lifetime. No. 36. Es. dur. B. 1759. Orgel oder Clavier, 2 Hörner, The source record for both Wq 34 and 35 is good. Au- 2 Violinen, Bratsche und Baß. tograph or partly autograph scores and parts survive for both works. These indicate that Bach made alterations and Except for the Concerto in E-flat Major for Harpsichord improvements at a somewhat later time after the works and Fortepiano, Wq 47, these two concertos are the only were composed. In addition, more than a dozen contem- keyboard concertos for which a keyboard instrument porary copies of each work exist, indicating that they were other than the harpsichord is noted in NV 1790. The fact both well-known and popular with the North German that the organ is listed before the harpsichord in the de- musical public.

  • Matt Machemer
    GRADUATE ORGAN RECITAL Matthew A. Machemer In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Church Music June 25, 2021 7:00 P.M. Chapel of Christ Triumphant Concordia University Wisconsin Praeludium in G Nicolaus Bruhns 1665 – 1697 While Nicolaus Bruhns was not blessed with a long life, he was gifted with incredible musical abilities and a keen compositional sense. He was both a gifted violinist and viola de gamba player as well as an acclaimed organist. By his mid-twenties, Bruhns had studied with some of the most celebrated musicians of his time, most notably Dietrich Buxtehude, who was particularly fond of the young musician and whose influence can be seen in Bruhn’s own compositions. One such example is Bruhns’ Praeludium in G: an excellent example of the Stylus Phantasticus made famous under by Buxtehude himself. The Praeludium in G is perhaps Bruhns’ most structurally significant work. The praeludium is ordered according to the common five-part structure indicative of most north German organ praeludia of the time. The piece opens with a virtuosic fanfare section, interspersing manual and pedal flourishes with more structured motivic material. This motivic material forms the basis of the first fugal section, which features six voices: four in the manuals and two in the pedals. One can imagine young Nicolaus, who was known to play the violin and the organ pedals simultaneously, delighting in this masterful display. A middle improvisatory section follows featuring pedal solos and manual figurations reminiscent of a fiery violin solo. The fourth section is the final fugue, which closely mirrors the first, though the subject is presented in a different time signature and features only five voices instead of six.

  • ORGAN ESSENTIALS Manual Technique Sheri Peterson [email protected]
    ORGAN ESSENTIALS Manual Technique Sheri Peterson [email protected] Piano vs. Organ Tone “…..the vibrating string of the piano is loudest immediately after the attack. The tone quickly decays, or softens, until the key is released or until the vibrations are so small that no tone is audible.” For the organ, “the volume of the tone is constant as long as the key is held down; just prior to the release it is no softer than at the beginning.” Thus, the result is that “due to the continuous strength of the organ tone, the timing of the release is just as important as the attack.” (Don Cook: Organ Tutor, 2008, Intro 9 Suppl.) Basic Manual Technique • Hand Posture - Curve the fingers. Keep the hand and wrist relaxed. There is no need to apply excessive pressure to the keys. • Attack and Release - Precise rhythmic attack and release are crucial. The release is just as important as the attack. • Legato – Essential to effective hymn playing. • Independence – Finger and line. Important Listening Skills • Perfect Legato – One finger should keep a key depressed until the moment a new tone begins. Listen for a perfectly smooth connection. • Precise Releases – Listen for the timing of the release. Practice on a “silent” (no stops pulled) manual, listening for the clicks of the attacks and releases. • Independence of Line – When playing lines (voices) together, listen for a single line to sound the same as it does when played alone. (Don Cook: Organ Tutor, 2008, Intro 10 Suppl.) Fingering Technique The goal of fingering is to provide for the most efficient motion as possible.

Renaissance Keyboard Fingering The Implications of Fingering Indications in Virginalist Sources: Some Thoughts for Further Study* Desmond Hunter The fingering of virginalist music has been discussed at length by various scholars.1 The topic has not been exhausted however; indeed, the views expressed and the conclusions drawn have all too frequently been based on limited evidence. I would like to offer some observations based on both a knowledge of the sources and the experience gained from applying the source fingerings in performances of the music. I propose to focus on two related aspects: the fingering of linear figuration and the fingering of graced notes. Our knowledge of English keyboard fingering is drawn from the information contained in virginalist sources.

  • The Baroque Offertoire : Apotheosis of the French Organ Art
    The Baroque Offertoire : Apotheosis of the French Organ Art By Copyright 2016 Song Yi Park Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Bauer ________________________________ Dr. James Higdon ________________________________ Dr. Colin Roust ________________________________ Dr. Bradley Osborn ________________________________ Professor Jerel Hildig Date Defended: November 1, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Song Yi Park certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Baroque Offertoire : Apotheosis of the French Organ Art ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Bauer Date approved: November 1, 2016 ii Abstract During the French Baroque period, the function of the organ was primarily to serve the liturgy. It was an integral part of both Mass and the office of Vespers. Throughout these liturgies the organ functioned in alteration with vocal music, including Gregorian chant, choral repertoire, and fauxbourdon. The longest, most glorious organ music occurred at the time of the offertory of the Mass. The Offertoire was the place where French composers could develop musical ideas over a longer stretch of time and use the full resources of the French Classic Grand jeu , the most colorful registration on the French Baroque organ. This document will survey Offertoire movements by French Baroque composers. I will begin with an introductory discussion of the role of the offertory in the Mass and the alternatim plan in use during the French Baroque era. Following this I will look at the tonal resources of the French organ as they are incorporated into French Offertoire movements.

  • Fugal Procedures in the Mendelssohn Organ Sonatas
    The Woman's College of The University of North Carolina LIBRARY CQ tio.ssi COLLEGE COLLECTION Gift of Charlotte Alston ALSTON, CHARLOTTE LENORA. Fugal Procedures in the Mendelssohn Organ Sonatas. (1968) Directed by: Mr. Jack Jarrett. pp. 54 Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) wrote Six Sonatas for Organ, Opus 65, published in 1845. Fugal procedures are a predominant feature in these sonatas. With the exception of two independent fugues, the Mendelssohn sonatas represent an instance in com- position where monothematic-form techniques and multi-thematic form techniques are used within the same movement. An examination of the Mendelssohn sonatas was made in an attempt to discover how Mendelssohn uses fugal procedures in multi-thematic forms. The study reveals that Mendelssohn uses fugal procedures within the context of sonata-allegro form and ternary form. The use of fugal procedures within the sonata- allegro form is represented in the first movement of the First Sonata. Its use in the ternary form is found in the first move- ment of the Third Sonata and the first and fourth movements of the Fourth Sonata. The study reveals that the first movement of the First Sonata is a modified fugue in sonata-allegro form. This relation- ship of fugal procedures and sonata-allegro form poses a funda- mental problem of fugal continuity. Accordingly, cadences play an important role in this movement. The basic outline of the tonal structure of the movement was found to be that of sonata- allegro form. The type of punctuation normally associated with sonata-allegro form is modified to allow for fugal continuity.

Department of ZH t/S fC The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date . DE-6 (2788) Abstract Bach's Concerto for Keyboard, Flute, and Violin with Orchestra in A minor, BWV 1044, is a very interesting and unprecedented case of Bach reworking pre-existing keyboard works into three concerto movements. There are several examples of Bach carrying out the reverse process with his keyboard arrangements of Vivaldi, and other composers' concertos, but the reworking of the Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 894, into the outer movements of BWV 1044, and the second movement of the Organ Sonata in F major, BWV 527, into the middle movement, appears to be unique among Bach's compositional activity.
